Our Values Statement
We recommend active participation by individuals in all aspects of their health care, thereby becoming a responsive and informed partner with their conventional medical caregiver. We trust in the body's innate potential to heal, and it is our intent to work in harmony with this timeless and universal knowledge. |
History of CHEO
Because of a long-standing interest in alternative healing and a desire to learn more Suzanna Alexander, PT and Carol Shelby, RN began educational meetings for the Chattanooga community in 2001. Originally connected to an organization based in Knoxville, they decided it was in the best interest of the local group's growth to start a new independent organization focused in the Chattanooga area. On May 13, 2002, CHEO, the Complementary Health Education Organization was formed.
Today
CHEO
has a board and six
committees
and there are over 200 members.
In 2003 a Directory of Services
was published. Today we have an ongoing Web Directory, and every other
year Print Directory (another in 2008). We currently have monthly
educational meetings, workshops and are committed to creating a community
where options for health and healing are easily available. In 2006 we held
our first annual Alternative Health Fair at Northgate Mall. In November
2007, we’re combining our 2nd annual Northgate Fair with a Fair /
Conference at MMTC.
Over the last five years we have had many wonderful
speakers bring us their areas of expertise on complementary and alternative health
subjects.
CHEO's
meetings are free to the public. If you are close enough to our area we
hope you will join us at a meeting. Check out the current
CHEO
Speaker Schedule on our home page and click here for
directions to the meeting location.
See you there!
